AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
1203 PM CST TUE JAN 14 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 942 AM CST TUE JAN 14 2014

HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST TO REFLECT THE LATEST RADAR TRENDS WITH
LIGHT SNOW OVERSPREADING PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL IOWA THIS
MORNING AND EXPECTED TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS. VISIBILITIES IN THE SNOW HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO
AROUND 1-2 MILES DUE TO FALLING SNOW AND PATCHY BLOWING SNOW.
THEREFORE HAVE CONTINUED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE
NORTHERN CWA AS EXPECT TO SEE SOME REDUCED VISIBILITIES IN SNOW
AND BLOWING SNOW THROUGH THE DAY AS THE SNOW SPREADS SOUTHEAST.
DID HOWEVER TRANSITION THE FURTHEST SOUTH COUNTIES OF MARSHALL AND
TAMA BACK TO A WIND ADVISORY FROM THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AS
LITTLE ADDITIONAL SNOW IS EXPECTED FOR THIS AREA THUS THE STRONG
WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 315 AM CST TUE JAN 14 2014

LOW PRESSURE IS INTO SOUTHEAST MN NOW AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK
SOUTHEAST AS TRAILING COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE STATE.  GOOD
MIXING WITH 40 TO 50 KT WINDS IN THE MIXED LAYER BEHIND THE FRONT
AND A VERY WELL DEFINED RISE/FALL COUPLET EVIDENT THIS MORNING.
WILL CONTINUE WITH THE WIND ADVISORY TODAY AND UPGRADE TO A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY OVER THE NORTHEAST WHERE SOME LIGHT SNOW WILL FALL.
THOUGH AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT...WITH WINDS GUSTING OVER 40 MPH
BLOWING SNOW WILL LIKELY BE AN ISSUE FOR SEVERAL HOURS...AS LONG AS
SNOW IS FALLING.  TEMPERATURES WILL FALL THROUGH THE DAY.  WINDS
WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH DURING THE AFTERNOON AS WELL.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISSUED AT 315 AM CST TUE JAN 14 2014

FORECAST CONCERNS FOR THE EXTENDED WILL CONTINUE TO FOCUS AROUND
PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR MID WEEK AND STRONG WINDS ALSO EXPECTED.
MODELS ATTEMPT TO LINGER LIGHT SNOW ACROSS NORTHEASTERN CWA
TONIGHT AS LOW DEPARTS...THOUGH WITH LIMITED MOISTURE HAVE KEPT
OVERNIGHT DRY. OVERNIGHT TONIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL DROP QUICKLY
AS CAA CONTINUES TO PUSH ACROSS THE AREA BEHIND LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM. WINDS WILL ALSO REMAIN STRONG WITH CAA AND PRESSURE
GRADIENT OVERNIGHT...AND WILL LEAD TO LOW WIND CHILL
VALUES...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH THOUGH VALUES WILL REMAIN AROUND
10 TO 15 BELOW...AND THEREFORE ABOVE ADVISORY CRITERIA. SECONDARY
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DROP SE FROM CANADA FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK AND WILL BE THE MAIN WEATHER PRODUCER FOR THE EXTENDED.
ASSOCIATED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PUSH SOUTH LATE WEDNESDAY...WITH
PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA. AHEAD OF BOUNDARY
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM IN WAA...BEFORE DROPPING AGAIN WEDNESDAY
NIGHT BEHIND BOUNDARY. MODELS HAVE SLOWED THIS BOUNDARY AND
THEREFORE HAVE KEPT POPS CONFINED TO WEDNESDAY EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. OVERALL...MODELS ARE IN VERY POOR AGREEMENT WITH THE
HANDLING OF THIS SYSTEM. GFS IS MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH EXTENT OF
PRECIPITATION FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH ECMWF MUCH LESS AGGRESSIVE.
NAM KEEPS PRECIP CONFINED TO THE NE...AND FEEL THIS IS THE BEST
SOLUTION ATTM. HOWEVER...FORCING WILL BE DECENT WITH THIS SYSTEM
AND IF MOISTURE PUSHES FURTHER WEST...MAY SEE ADDITIONAL
PRECIPITATION.

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN HOWEVER COMES THURSDAY AS SECONDARY BOUNDARY
PUSHES SOUTH...AS LOW DIGS SE AS WELL. CURRENTLY...LOW EXPECTED TO
TRACK ACROSS GREAT LAKES REGION...THOUGH THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT
MODEL DISCREPANCIES IN TRACK AND TIMING OF FROPA. GIVEN
DISCREPANCIES...HAVE INCREASED POPS ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA FOR
THURSDAY...THOUGH MAY STILL NOT BE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH. WILL SEE ONLY
A QUICK SHOT FOR PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM HOWEVER...AS IT
PUSHES THROUGH QUICKLY. HOWEVER...AND PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY
COME AS SNOW...AND WITH VERY STRONG WINDS EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE
DAY/EVENING THURSDAY AND STRONG PUSH OF CAA...MAY SEE HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS WITH BLOWING SNOW AS SNOW IS FALLING AND FRESHLY FALLEN
SNOW. IN ADDITION...STRONG WINDS AND VERY COLD TEMPERATURES WILL
LEAD TO WIND CHILL VALUES 20 BELOW OR COLDER IN THE NORTH THURSDAY
NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED...ESPECIALLY
GIVEN CURRENT MODEL DISCREPANCIES.

BEHIND SYSTEM NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL PERSIST ACROSS IOWA THROUGH
MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED..GRADUALLY BECOMING MORE
ZONAL. WAVE EXPECTED TO PUSH SOUTH SATURDAY MAY BRING
PRECIPITATION CHANCES...ESPECIALLY TO THE NORTH. TEMPERATURES
WILL WARM FOR THE WEEKEND AND MONDAY WITH SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS.
